Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pediatrics
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Cerebral Palsy (CP) presents significant challenges in diagnosis and management.
  • Understanding the prevalence, types, and associated conditions of CP is crucial for effective patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the probable causes, types, and associated disabilities in patients with Cerebral Palsy.
  • To analyze the demographic distribution of Cerebral Palsy cases.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study conducted over 9 months.
  • Involved 5412 patients, with 93 diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy.
  • Data collected on CP types and co-occurring disabilities.

Main Results:

  • Prevalence of CP was 1.72% (93 out of 5412 patients).
  • Quadriplegic type (47.3%) was most common, followed by diplegic (31.1%) and hemiplegic (16.1%).
  • High rates of associated disabilities including speech disorders (49.4%), mental retardation (45.1%), and convulsive disorders (38.7%).

Conclusions:

  • Spastic quadriplegia is the most severe form of CP observed.
  • CP frequently co-occurs with multiple disabilities, necessitating comprehensive management strategies.
  • Early identification and intervention are vital for improving outcomes in children with Cerebral Palsy.
